In this episode, we reflect on 90's nostalgia, yet again. But this time, shit gets real as we look back and discuss exactly how bad things really were! This hits hard for Carlos, especially, who proclaims yet another American pop icon as his personal Jesus Christ. Megan dissects the true puzzle pieces behind a fighter pilot's cockpit, the derailment of women's rights for our generation, and gets picked on a little less for her supporting arguments. Ryan remains in true form, picking on Megan for basically...all the things, identifies Carlos's ass as "nice," and all the meanwhile, earns yet another nickname proclaiming his role in Suburbia. In spite of Megan's attempt to set a podcast "agenda," classic Real Suburbia derailments ensue and a dumpster fire of personal stories, emotions, opinions, and epiphanies erupt in this latest episode. Keep it real, Real Suburbia Nation; because if you aren't making it happen, you've only got the three of us to rely on. Welcome to the Thunderdome! We hope you've got your helmet!!
Seriously, where do we even start? Carlos, Ryan, and Megan discuss the rampant sexism in Top Gun, Carlos's famous (and first) weatherman penis meme, high school reunions, and the blatant chauvinism in alcohol advertising. Don't worry, there's so much more unnecessary commentary on random things you never thought you'd think about again. That's right, we bring up things you gladly left behind in your past and will most likely resent us for. We love you and you are welcome!
Join Megan, Carlos, and Ryan (The Suburban Fur Trapper, formerly know as the Warrior Poet of Suburbia) as they meander through topics such as the destruction of society by social media, grown men playing video games, and old sitcom spinoffs. The rambling madness and typical tangents continue along with Ryan's terrible analogies and, of course, dramatic readings from Nextdoor.
The Warrior Poet of Suburbia, aka The Suburban Warrior poet (neighbor Ryan Lee), returns to trash Megan & Carlos's 1990's movie and music picks. Kid Rock is solely responsible for Carlos's biggest life lesson, Ryan explains bosom flashing to his 8 year old son on Good Friday, and Megan tells the story of how she walked around for years without realizing her first tattoo was a company's logo. Megan and Carols, once again, destroy the "Oregon Trail" Generation; and Ryan, once again, blames Megan for everything gone wrong, ever.

In this episode, Carlos and Megan discuss some of their favorite movies from high school (1990-1994). Join them as they revisit the nineties (again) and see if you remember some of their picks (Dances with Wolves, Singles, Reality Bites, The Silence of the Lambs, Cool as Ice, Back to the Future III, Wayne's World, and more!) and hear why Ethan Hawke might be considered a hero. Party on.
Yes, they're still living in nostalgia (podcast wise) to get us all through the pandemic. In this episode, Carlos and Megan discuss their favorite songs from their high school years (1990-1994). Carlos promises to never get singing lessons as he has the "voice of an angle". If you can get through the potential ear bleeding, please enjoy this trip down memory lane! Megan's mom innocently sings 2 Live Crew, Carlos goes punk, don't go chasing rabbit holes, Bobby Brown gets booed, a Wilson Phillips/Boyz II Men duet is pitched, and so much more. Somehow Megan does not mention Fred Savage and, of course, there are dramatic Nextdoor readings.
In Episode #7, Carlos and Megan revisit the movies from Junior High that had lasting impacts and how they shaped their views of the world. After doing the same with music in Episode #6, they thought they'd continue the conversation with their favorite movies from their middle school years (1985-1989). We talk smack about The Warrior Poet of Suburbia and the “Oregon Trail” generation, the pure dominance of Gen X’ers, random fun facts of the movies we discuss, and of course, dramatic readings from the Nextdoor app. What were some of the movies that shaped you from your middle school years?

In Episode #6, Carlos and Megan revisit the songs from Junior High that had lasting impacts and how they shaped their view of the world. It all started while the two of them binge watched Disney +'s Encore, where people go back to high school as adults to relive and perform in their high school musical. They start off by warming up to a song that was popular during that time and it gave Megan and Carlos the idea to go back and come up with a few songs that stick out from their middle school years (1985-1989). They cover Madonna, SWV, Bon Jovi, INXS, Paul Young, Billy Ocean, U2, and more! Unfortunately, they do attempt to sing, so you have been warned. Come along for a trip down their Gen X memory lane--they promise not to release any couple's duet albums if you listen to this episode.
Do you remember Debbie Gibson's Electric Youth perfume? Carlos and Megan are back! They reflect on the bullshit that COVID-19 has created in their day-to-day lives as parents, business owners, and spouses. There are fights and insights, an in-the-moment reality show creation involving ASL interpreters, and an odd request for a set of hubcaps for a 1974 Dodge Dart. Dramatic Nextdoor readings are, of course, included.
We welcome our first guest! Our neighbor and self proclaimed Warrior Poet of the Suburbs, Ryan, joins us to discuss lube throwing, Scott Baio’s bastard, different kinds of suburbanites, the time Ryan discovered a gay sex club on his street, dramatic Nextdoor readings and more!
